This week’s theme reminds us that faith isn’t just something we talk about on Sundays — it’s something we live out every day. God’s word and our prayers shape us, and when we receive all things with thanksgiving, we start to see how deeply we’re nourished by Christ’s teachings. Worship isn’t just music or prayer; it’s the way our lives themselves become teaching tools for the world. ### Walking the Path Together Sometimes the journey of faith feels like a winding road. We ask God to keep us steady, to help us follow His lead, and to encourage one another along the way. It’s easy to tear each other down, but the call here is to lift each other up — to use our unique gifts to bring peace and joy into our communities. ### The Joy of Giving Think about that moment when you’re doing something you love and realize it blesses someone else. That’s the beauty of generosity. Our talents and resources aren’t just for us; they become powerful when they’re shared. Every gift — whether time, talent, or tithe — grows faith and spreads hope. God uses what we bring to make His love tangible in the world. ### A Prayer of Offering Living God, thank you for inviting us into Your work. You gather every generation in grace, and You bless our presence, our efforts, and our gifts. May what we bring nurture others in Christ’s truth and love. Strengthen our church family, bless our neighbors, and let all people know Your embracing love. Amen. *1 Timothy 4:6–16* Faith isn’t just about what we believe — it’s about how we live. Paul reminds Timothy that our lives themselves can be teaching tools, showing others the goodness of God. When we encourage one another, use our gifts to build up instead of tear down, and live with gratitude, we become living testimonies of Christ’s love. Today, ask yourself: *How can my words and actions point someone toward hope and joy?* Even the smallest act of kindness can echo God’s truth in powerful ways.
